“Watford Apartments perfect for an on the go vacation”

Watford Ferry Apartments

Jun 14, 2008

I always forget to write a review once I am home, so here I am on our last night here, hoping to give you a very acurate picture.

First of all, you need to know that Bermuda is GORGEOUS. The beaches on the south shore have interesting rock formations, most have some snorkeling, the softest sand (not really pink, just has tiny pink particles here and there.) The turquiose water is the clearest that we have seen any where. We've traveled quite a bit, and it would be hard to find nicer. You almost feel like you are in a giant clean swimming pool! It is truly breath taking.
The restaurants are pricey but good, the service is far superior to any where we've travelled in the carribean. The people here are very polite and talkative. There is much to see on the island, and we recommend taking the ferry to Hamilton for shopping and dining, and St. George for sight seeing. We LOVED St. George. Don't miss Tobacco Bay if you like to snorkel.

BIG WARNING...many vacationers zip around on mopeds because there are no car rentals for tourists. We heard several horror stories from locals about fatalities. Bermudians drive on the left,and tourists get confused frequently. The roads are very narrow and whindy. It looks fun but it won't be if you crash.

Now, the apartment. My first impression actually was not positive, because it smelled like urine and mold. But I sprayed lysol and let the owner know, and from there on there was little to no smell. The pictures on the website make it look new and it is not. But it is a comfortable, quiet, very private, clean and convenient place to stay and you cannot beat the price. The small balcony has a little view of the water, but right out your door the ocean is all around you. Beaches are a 15 minute or so bus ride away, which you can catch right beyond the building. Also to the right of the apartments is the ferry. They have a little restaurant on site and the coffee is wonderful in the morning, just steps away from your door and you can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view.
The apartment has an adequate kitchen. We didn't use it because we were on the go most of the time. If you stay in a hotel you don't have the option to cook or not to cook!
My husband and I loved coming home in the evening and relaxing in the living room. The bed was okay. You will need to block the windows upstairs if you don't want to wake up with the sun.
You have to decide what you want out of a vacation before you go. Do you want to walk out of a hotel and land in the sand with a tropical drink in hand? Then this is not for you. However, it you are adventurous, private, and want a clean comfy bargain in a good spot, this is a perfect choice.

We loved the location...a bus stop right there to take you to the ferries at Dockyard or anywhere else in the other direction. We actually walked to Dockyard one day. The bus and ferry system along with Mini-cabs and taxis make this island very easy to navigate since they don't allow car rentals. We really enjoyed talking with locals and taking some of their suggestions.
I'm surprised the other reviews mentioned the owners. Neither of them ever bothered to meet us, not even to receive our final payment...even though we stayed in the one-bedroom Yellowfin with the entrance directly opposite their apartment door. Strange. The apartment was OK, only, with the kitchen being the worst. We've rented 4 accomodations such as this in the last year in a variety of locations, and this one had the worst kitchen...rusty appliances...minimal supplies...only 2 cups, 3 plates...don't invite anyone over for breakfast! Our stay began on a downer when we discoved tons of ants in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom loft. Owners response was that they come out in the rain. We live in southwest Florida...don't tell us about ants! We sprayed the floors and put the infested throw rugs in plastic bags and left them outside. We cleaned up the mess of dead ants ourselves and kept vigilant for the rest of our stay. Since we were here in early April, air conditioning was not an issue for us. We did try the wall-mounted unit...don't see how it will cool the sleeping loft in the heat of summer. The laundry area is in a really gross shed type structure.
We loved our return to Bermuda...after 35 years! We recommend this area of the island, but would not send anyone to this accomodation. Apparently, there are others in the area.

Management Response

(Management representative)

we tend to leave people on their own. , thinking perhaps they would like some time to themselves as we do when we vacation.i called them upon arrival to welcome them to the island, asked them if they needed anything, supplied necessary phone #'s, bus and ferry tickets, a complimentary bottle of wine, coins for the washer and dryer and an e-mail supplying final payment options due upon departure. they were a party of 2, so feel plates were sufficient. when asked if you needed anything, why didn't you say so then?

“Great place to stay”

Stayed in the two bedroom, Barracuda. Lots of room and spotlessly clean. Kitchen is well equipped. Views of the water.Patio area with chairs. Very nice owners.
Bus and ferry about two minutes. Short level walk to Salt Rock Grill and Country Squire restaurants, pharmacy, post office and a few shops. Ideal for those who do not want to rent mopeds or climb hills. We can also recommend the Freeport and the Frog and Onion restaurants at the Dockyard.

“Wonderful Location”

Watford Ferry Accommodations can be contacted through Bermudagetaway.com. We occupied the ground level studio - Rainbow Runner - from 10/9 to 10/13. The location cannot be beat, nor can the nightly rate. It's a two minute walk to the bus stop and, also, to the Watford ferry stop. A few small stores and two restaurants are a flat, easy walk away. Hamilton, St George, the Dockyard and beaches are easy to get to using bus/ferry tickets. The rental unit is exactly as pictured on the web - neat, clean and adorable. The couple who own the property could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They own the Freeport Seafood Restaurant at the entrance to the Dockyard. There is seating both inside and out -- food is very good. I just want to add that our JetBlue direct flight to/from Boston was fantastic -- 1 1/2 hrs in the air. Bermuda is a beautfiul island and we can't wait to return.
